  Picture America commented on DA OFFICE VISIT

  Here's the deal - A U.S. Citizen ought to be able to provide information to a County DA. If a law enforcement officer goofed up - a citizen ought to be allowed to go straight to the DA. Providing information to the police department about the conduct of a police officer results in a secret personnel matter. That's not a criminal charge for unlawful conduct.
  
  The 14th Amendment
  
  Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
  
  The Equal Protection Clause, part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, provides that
  
  "no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
  
  The Equal Protection Clause can be seen as an attempt to secure the promise of the United States' professed commitment to the proposition that "all men are created equal" by empowering the judiciary to enforce that principle against the states.
  
  More concretely, the Equal Protection Clause, along with the rest of the Fourteenth Amendment, marked a great shift in American constitutionali sm.
  
  Before the enactment of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Bill of Rights protected individual rights only from invasion by the federal government.
  
  After the Fourteenth Amendment was enacted, the Constitution also protected rights from abridgement by state leaders, and governments, even including some rights that arguably were not protected from abridgement by the federal government.
  
  In the wake of the Fourteenth Amendment, the states could not, among other things, deprive people of the equal protection of the laws.
  
  What exactly such a requirement means, of course, has been the subject of great debate; and the story of the Equal Protection Clause is the gradual explication of its meaning.
  
  One of the main limitations in the Equal Protection Clause is that it limits only the powers of government bodies, and not the private parties on whom it confers equal protection. This limitation has existed since 1883 and has not been overturned.

  Picture America commented on STOCKTON CA ARREST

  Stockton Police Officers willfully destroyed evidence.
  
  In California it is the District Attorney, not the victim or the police, who is responsible for deciding whether or not a person accused of a crime should be prosecuted in court. - District Attorney County of San Joaquin.
  
  1. The Equal Protection Clause, part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, provides that "no state shall… deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
  
  2. "If truth be sought, spoliation of evidence is its antithiesis" (93-CA-2125-MR)
  
  3. "Spoliation of evidence doctrine... is based on the nature of the conduct of the party who destroyed the evidence and the need to punish such conduct" (21 S. W. 3d 514)
  
  4. "The underlying goals of truthseeking, fairness, and integrity of the judicial system can be served in two distinct ways. First the legal system can seek to remedy the effects of destruction of evidence in the particular case. Second, the system can seek to deter destruction of evidence in future cases, through the imposition of a penalty." (167 F. R.D. 90)

  Picture America commented on CIVIL RIGHTS CASE

  Hello Mark. About the right turns. I shot this and wanted to see some movement through the front windshield. So, we drove around in an area with a lot of storefront lights, passing cars and street lights. It almost worked visually. The story told is interesting.
